My Idea For This Blog

To set goals for myself that others can see & encourage me along the way.

Ok.....new for 2009-

I have decided that it is too hard for me in my life right now the way it was set up for last year.

The Lord has laid it on my heart that I must choose to ACT loving.......& part of that is being moderate in my choices.

So each day, I will record how I chose moderation, motivated by my love for God or my love for others. Also, I will choose loving actions & (mostly, I need to demostrate it in the area of MODERATION) because of God's love for me!

Thank-you to each & every one of you who will support & pray for me in this endeavor!

MONEY: Jan. 7-12

Jan. 7th: Yeah, Kim!!! Went to the store WITH A LIST, & stuck to it-except for bannanas!! The cool thing was, I remembered/took time to make a list, even though it was a very short one.

Jan. 8th: Another day of following the list. I So Rock


Jan. 9th: Did not have a list, but went to Circut City & picked up just what DH wanted me to get for us. Funny thing was-even all the new stuff in that store (which I'm not really excited about) was tempting to look at just cause it's new. Have to think that one through a bit more. that may be part of my issue w/ lack of discipline here. NEW is better for some reason.

Jan. 10th: Went into the store w/ out a list. But.....stopped right at the front of the store & made one. Also, bought a few things not on the list, but I knew they were on lists at home.

Jan. 11: Went to the store w/ specific ideas re. some re-decorating I wanted to do & a list. I got exactly what I needed & left the stores! Feels so good!

Jan 12th: Another day of following my list. :-)

Girl, you go to the store as much as me. I too am bad at doing the list. I try every month to at least plan out 14 meals I have at my disposal. It really helps but with the holidays this month was a bust.

Oh and you have my number if you need to talk while Dave is gone.
